2 ounces cream cheese
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon stevia glycerite or 2 tablespoons of sugar if you don't mind the carbs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Microwave the cream cheese for 10-20 seconds to soften it. It needs to be truly soft, though not liquid.
2 ounces cream cheese
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with a hand whisk. Add the softened cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener. Whisk patiently until well incorporated and smooth. This will require some elbow grease, so try to be patient!
2 large eggs, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite
Heat half the butter in two mini nonstick skillets (or use an egg frying pan) over medium heat. Add ¼ of the batter to each skillet. Cook until golden brown and set on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pans. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.

Sweetness is a personal preference. Use this recipe as a guide and adjust to taste.
The entire recipe makes one serving.
This is an easy recipe, with one caveat: The batter is very thin. So, you can't just pour three or four mounds into a large skillet as you would do with regular pancakes. The batter will spread. The solution is to either use two mini frying pans and cook one pancake at a time in each, or use an egg frying pan. Whatever pan you use, make sure it's a nonstick pan.
Flour isn't needed. However, if you'd like the pancakes to be a bit sturdier, add ¼ cup of superfine almond flour or (if you don't mind the gluten and carbs) 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour.
Once completely cool, you can keep these pancakes in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. If layering them, separate the layers with wax paper squares. You can also successfully freeze these cooled pancakes in a single layer in freezer bags.
